Normal
June 19, 2009
If normal is relative,
does that make me not-normal?
Because the normal human-being
doesn’t meet the love of their life
at age eleven
Because the normal kid
isn’t falling head-over-heels for
someone they hardly talk to
If normal is relative,
does that make me a weirdo?
Because the normal thirteen-year-old girl
hasn’t gotten to hold your hand–
in public
Because the normal teenager
doesn’t get to call you
“mine”.
Well then,
I guess being ‘normal’
isn’t all it’s kicked-up to be.

Normal, is an understatement, there is no normal as such, only the normal limit you make yourself.
